Hey guys.
Bottling my last 'kit' brew tomorrow and now stepping up a notch to extract. Tomorrow I am doing the tried and trusted:
My latest variation used JW trad and JW caramalt instead of Wey Pils and Wey Caramunich. Hops adjusted to 20 min and flame-out. No dry hopping. Scored 46/50 at ANAWBS 2008 and was best beer of show (bottle conditioned for 2 months).
KIT VERSION
1 can LME
1 can Coopers Wheat Malt
250g Caramalt (or other light crystal)
60 min bittering addition of 20g of Amarillo
15g Amarillo @ 15, 5 and dry hop.
Yeast - US05
My Q is do I just do my usual 250~300 grm carapils and boil the hops with that and 500 LDME or use the malt or wheat can for the boil and omit the LDME? Or use a malt/wheat can for the hops boil?
Cheers
